[Bug 11334] Re: MASTER Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste

[3esmit]

There sould be a type of clipboard that references de opened program itself,
to keep also the old style, since some programs like programs suite (i.e.
adobe creative suite) have many types of data that it can be copy and pasted
as objects that one program grabs directally from other (i.e. copy a
photoshop layer to illustrator, the layers may be there in illustrator,
since it just got the same memory reference to the same generic data object)

By default, the XServer threats the good sense way for all programs that
just didnt care about the clipboard managing.

I like selection, I just wish I could reselect other text and drop the
selection over it (maybe a special modifier key?)
Selection should be 1. activated by user. 2. possiblity to program choose
ignore it when it wishes so.

Thanks all.
